actually, there are plenty of non-spandex shorts with "chamois" (technically not chamois leather). I don't wear jeans/slacks. I don't really have a need for padding (yet), but I do wear compression shorts or commando because of chafing.
Hells yes on the proteus. Gary and Jill (and everybody else there) rock. What's not to like about an LBS with a show up and hang out potluck every week? Not to mention their bike mechanic apprenticeship program for local kids, etc.
